THE STRAWS IN HIS SPEECH.

Promises of Peace in the ChancelIor's
Utterances The Reich tag a most
Sure to Veto the Army BlnPs Demands.
BERLIN, Jan. 13.-The debate on the
army bill was resumed in the Rechstag
to-day. Prince Bismarck again spoke.
He said he regretted that he had been
prevented from listening to Herr Renters
speech denying that the German Liberal
press attacked The ChaucellOr's Bulgarian
policy. Germany iuterYened in Bulgaria,
Prince Bismarck said, solely to prevent
the execution of the conspirators who
were implicated in the plot against
Prince Alexander, so that the mainte-
nance of peace might be unimpeded. In
support of this he read number of dis
patches, and added: 81 am thus compelled
to protect Germany's diplomats and for
eign agents by judicial evidence against
incredible attacks by a mendacious
press. [ could continue to read similar
documents proving that attacks have been
made upon Germany's wider policy" He
quoted from articles in the NolkS Zeltnng,
and said: "These declamatiOns are unim-
portant in themselves ii confined to the
newspaper that makes them, but we must

House seeks to propagate such opinions.
Therefore we cannot remain inactive.
How vacillating is this majority--to-day
1t has already dropped Bulgaria. How,
then. shall l suppose IL will, after three
years, retain the same opinion it now has
on the matter which couples us to-day"
The Kreuz Zeitung says; For the
first time the Chancellor has assured US
that no danger is to be apprehended from
the last"
The National Zeitung says: although
cur relations are good the relations eX-
| isting between Austria and Russia
might entangle Germany in war with
Russias
.lseaFIRM FOR THE TRIENNATE.
| At meeting of the progressst men,
| beTs OF the Reichstag held yesterday even
| ing 1t was decided to support the Centre
| in voting for the trIennate term as the
| duration of the army bill. There is not
symptom of weakening on the part OF the
opposition or of its being inclined to go
beyond the triennate term. A small num-
ber of he nobility who are members of the
centre will vote with the government, but
their support is not likely to affect the fate
of the bill.
The Mulhausen Express says it has au-
thority tor the statement that the troops
in the garrisons in Alsace and Lorraine
now number 1900, including 10000 at
Metz, and that in the event OF the passage
of the army bill 10000 relniorcements
will be Immediately divided among the
garrisons of Fissembourg, Hagenate and
5aarbruck. The Express also says that
barracks are being built at Metz which,
when completed, will accommodate 80, coo
men.
A ROARING LION.
Herr Windth0rst again pointed out that
the proper interprel atlOn of the cOnstltu-
tiOn was at variance with the Chaacel-
lOr's ideas of the political economic pol
| icy.
Prince Bismarck, rising abruptly, re-
| tOrted: Sin the constitution it is plainly
set forth that the Emperor fixes tue ef-
| fective strength OF the army. If
| the Reichstag should not grant those
means for the army which we consider
necessary the King of Prussia would still
| have the resource of appealing, with
every confidence, to the Prussian Diet,
which would no doubt grant the required
means. We wish to preserve; you wish
to encroach. We retain our old domain;
| you seek TO acquire new privileges and
| rights YOU do not now possess. Concern
ing Hanover, so constantly adverted to, l
shall submit the documents demanded.
! We shall then see how matters stand"
RESULTS POINTED TO.
Abiding next 10 the attacks on his
economic policy Prince Bismarck said
that the fact that national property had
been advanced by it could not be dis
posed of by denials. In concluding he
said: "lf the government finds that it
cannot get on VITA the present Reich
stag certainly il will not abandon q con-
stitutiOnal ground in dissolvIng this
body"
Gen. Won Schellendorff, Minister of
War, followed, opposing the view of Herr
Richter, that the bill had been introduced
solely with the object OF lessening the
number of officers and men Who are now
on an Indefinite leave Of absence.
A motion to close the debate was
agreed to and the House adjourned until
one O'Clock tomorrow when the division
on the bill will be taken.
TONE OF THE PRESS.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The st. Petersburg
cores pOndent of the Times SAYS: "The
speeches in the Reichstag give no grati-
ication to the Russian press after the re-
marks OF M. Flouren, whom Russian pa
pers lauded to the skies. The NOVOe
| Vremys, Novosti and others received the
German speeches with the greatest skep-
ticism and mlstrust."
Vienna papers heartily approve Prince
Bismarck's language relative to France
| DuL lQe DhsSdESs IbldLlus W AusIIId are
not read with much pleasure.
A dispatch from Berlin to the Times
says: "a struggle with France NAV yet
be averted, butthe speeches in the Reich
stag leave no room for doubt that we are
on tie eve OF recurrence OF the conflict
era that preceded the Danish and Aus
TRAN campaigns"
READ LIKE WAR BULLETINS,
VIENNA, Jan. l3.-Prince Bismarck's
speech has been read piecemeal in public
resorts IN this CITY, creating as much of a
sensation as 30 many war bulletins.
KALNoKY's STATEMENT CONFIRMED.
The Fremdenb blatt says: "rhe declara-
ton in Prince Blsmarck's speech in the
German Reichstag Tuesday OF German
Indifference to Austria-Hungary confirms
the statement Of Count kalnoky, the
Austro-Huugarian Foreign Minister 10
the delegations, that Germany as a
peacemaker would ind the governments
at Vienna and st. Petersburg ready to
settle all differences on a just and pacific
basis. Prince Bismarck's decisive refer
ehce 10 Bulgaria has had n SOLDERING in
fiuence everywhere. II is 10 be hoped it
will have salutary effect at Sophia,
where ii should be remembered thar
the sympathes Of Europe will
lessen as soon as the Bulgarians
disregard the interests Of Europe. which
